MotorCraft Oil Filter

More stuff online I've run across over the years.  You guys will form your own opinions.  What this does not show, which you can find online videos of, is how some filters have very poor quality media, parts are glued together, gaskets that get stuck to the oil filter mount which you have to scrape off, and gaskets that fall off.  Not all tension springs and clips are equal.  The best videos also show what those filters look like when cut open after XXXX thousand miles.  Even the canisters aren't equal.  I recall some canisters being so flimsy that when I tried to remove it with a filter wrench, the canister crushed like a beer can.

For daily driving, within OEM spec oil change intervals, MotorCraft is fine.  If you have a performance engine under load, like racing, you would not want some of those.  Watch some of the online videos where they cut the filters. Then you have a better idea of what some filters do and don't do.

Ford Racing Mustang engines with superchargers have a Ford Racing filter. Ford Racing filters have a similar part number, and I suspect that they vary little in build.  

 

A MotorCraft filter will never fail your Ford.  Exercise discretion if you choose another brand.  Some brands are not well made.  Some are better.  Conduct your own due diligence and be informed.

I cut every filter I change to drain and separate the paper from the steel  The Wix and Napa are very well made I like the spring better than the stamped steel spring plate .

I am surprised at how the Car Quest looks so I might get one of those.
